Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Galatians 5:18

_ _ “If ye are led (give yourselves up to be led) by (Greek) the Spirit, ye are not under the law.” For ye are not working the works of the flesh (Galatians 5:16, Galatians 5:19-21) which bring one “under the law” (Romans 8:2, Romans 8:14). The “Spirit makes free from the law of sin and death” (Galatians 5:23). The law is made for a fleshly man, and for the works of the flesh (1 Timothy 1:9), “not for a righteous man” (Romans 6:14, Romans 6:15).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Galatians 5:13-26.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Galatians 5:18

But if ye are led by the Spirit — Of liberty and love, into all holiness. Ye are not under the law — Not under the curse or bondage of it; not under the guilt or the power of sin.
